I can think of maybe 1 or 2 places where inheritance makes sense, and I haven't encountered these in the last 5 years... (not counting implementing interfaces of course, which definitely makes sense). In all other cases inheritance is IMHO a bad decision (why I think it should not be a thing in programming languages, because it leads someone to write bad code, as it seemed to be the right thing to do...).
